The band’s habitually uneasy textures and crude tones are generated with appropriated non-instruments- scrap metal, raw plastics, steel beams. For Kollaps, this isn’t an empty ‘industrial’ gesture.

Conceptually, ’Sibling Lovers’ follows ‘Heartworm’ as an exploration of individual sickness as a manifestation of a diseased modern society.
